I cut these into smaller strips and added 1 teaspoon of garlic powder and 1 teaspoon of onion powder. I absolutely loved these. They are a great way to get your family to eat healthier foods.

Very good and healthy alternative to french fries. I used cinnamon instead of paprika. I slice mine a bit thinner than the recipe calls for. They are better at room temperature, as another reviewer mentioned. My family loved them. I've made them twice already and will make them again and again.

We liked these. I took the advice of another reviewer and cut them into thin pieces.

Technically, this recipe is a 5 only with the changes I made. I read some other reviews and in addition to the paprika, I added garlic salt, onion powder, pepper, salt, and a dash of chipotle chili powder. (I had the chipotle for the Chipotle Crusted Pork Tenderloin reciple on this site.) I don't think that these will taste anywhere near as good without the extra spices!

I love these. I cut my potatoes into much smaller slices than one quarter, more the size of regular french fries. Because they were smaller, it took them only 20 minutes to bake. One large sweet potato was enough for two people (as a side dish). Very good!

These were quick and easy to make, but they really need more seasonings to taste better. I would add some cajun seasoning next time. Overall I thought it was a good healthy snack, better for you than cookies.

I don't know why I never did this before. They were great. Went very well with the steaks we had last night. The kids ate these much better than baked sweet potatoes. I can't wait to play around with the spices I put on them. Thanks Christine.

This is a great recipe. The first time I made them like the recipe called, except I used cajun seasoning and they were delicious! The next time that I made them, I only used a TBSP of butter and 2 TBSP of "sugar in the raw" and they were so yummy! Goes great with a chef salad!

This is simple, tasty, and pretty healthy for a side dish. I do it all the time with normal potatoes... don't know why I didn't think of using sweet potatoes before.

One word. . .WOW! I have never like sweet potatoes, but my husband and I decided that today, October 1st, we are gonna start working out and eating healthier. So, today, for our first "healthy" meal, I decided to make baked battered fish with sweet potato fries and collard greens. Wow! I didn't think I would like them, but OMG, they were awesome! I actually added a little more to the seasoning in the recipe; garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper. I will definitely be using this recipe again and recommending it to my friends. Who says eating healthy has to taste bland!

great way to eat sweet potato. My only suggestion would be to add salt and pepper, either when you are mixing with oil, or when you are ready to serve - while they are still hot. You can also dip these in a cumin-may mixture if you want

Cutting the sticks thinner definitely helps. These were delicious! We dipped them in ranch dressing when served, and kept whatever was leftover...they're even better cold the next day! Thanks for submitting.

Really yummy and so much better for you than white potatoes. I like to add additional spices as other reviewers have suggested. I use cinnamon sugar on them when I'm serving pork chops. Add a green veggie and baked apples and you've got a delicious, easy autumn meal.

Easy and delicious. I sliced the sweet potatoes into thinner sticks (more like french fries) and also added a little bit of salt.

This was very good and very easy. They do taste better at room temperature as Christine L said. I followed others suggestions and 1) added 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp salt and 1 Tbls brown sugar for 4 average size potatoes. However, when I added all these additional seasonings, I found it too pasty so I added an additional Tbs of olive oil....worked out perfectly. 2) I cut the potatoes in 1/4 inch rounds using my food processor. I too found that they cooked in about 20 minutes. Thank you for this recipe and thank you fellow reviewers for all your suggestions!!! This is a keeper!

I make these all the time - my husband LOVES them and asks for them constantly. I vary the spices: cajun, Greek or even Moroccan. Once I served them with a mixture of mayonnaise and avocado mashed together and they were amazing together.

Yum! I made the slices more like large french fries, turning once while cooking so they browned on more then one side. Used Olive oil Cooking spray on the cookie sheet and then once on the sweet potatoes themselves, sprinkled a pinch of salt on them. I then baked for approx 20 minutes, depending on thickness of slices. When out of oven and still on tray sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar. I suppose splenda and sugar would be good if watching you calories. YUM! YUM! YUM! Great as a light lunch with a salad. I WILL make these again!
